Chapter 735: On the Road to the Underworld, We Settle the Score! đź’€

Published: March 8, 2025

On the Ice and Snow Platform of the Stone Family, Shi Chengyu was already feeling restless, his anger almost uncontrollable!

Just now, over thirty throne-level experts from the Stone Family had died!

And they had died in such an absurd betrayal.

How could Shi Chengyu not feel heartbroken?

How could he not be furious?

"Deserved it for being anxious!" Ji Mo sneered.

"The Li Family is anxious too," Chu Yang said calmly.

After the battle for the Imperial Throne, the Li Family lost all their forces, leaving behind only one lord-level expert, like a lone seedling in a vast land, extremely pitiful. How could Li Batian not be anxious?

His mission here was to assist the Li Family in ascending to Shang San Tian, but now it seemed he would have to return with a pile of spirit tablets? No, at least there was still the half-dead Li Xiong Tu...

"Law Enforcer Lord! I believe this final battle is unfair!" Tian Buhui shouted hoarsely. There were hardly any people left beside him.

Only seven lord-level experts remained, plus one saint-level. Adding himself, he was just like a lone commander.

In the earlier battle, the patriarchs of the Zhao Family and Li Family had all been imperial level, and they perished in that conflict. Now, the difference between Tian Buhui and a lone commander was just those seven people.

"How is it unfair?" the White-Bearded Enforcer frowned and asked.

"The Dark Demon incident was purely a conspiracy; it was prearranged! I believe this goes against the rules of the final battle!" Tian Buhui gritted his teeth and shouted.

"That's a joke!" Chu Yang scoffed, saying, "What's unfair about this? Not to mention that we didn’t arrange anything, even if we did, what can you do about it? If you had the capability to infiltrate our ranks, we wouldn’t say anything. The problem is... you can’t! You can’t do it! Since you can't, shut up!"

The White-Bearded Enforcer nodded: "Well said. The final battle doesn't allow other people to intervene or to fight beyond their rank. However, there is no rule against using tactics during the final battle."

Mo Tianji added, "What the Law Enforcer Lord said is absolutely correct. Moreover, if we're talking about unfairness… I would like to ask: did over thirty throne-level experts in your camp just drop from the sky?"

He sneered. "Even if we arranged for the Dark Demon, he is still one of Shang San Tian's people!"

Tian Buhui was suddenly speechless.

What he feared the most was this matter.

The White-Bearded Enforcer cast a cold glance at him and said nothing more: "The battle of lord-level experts will commence immediately."

Mo Tianji leaned close to Chu Yang and said, "It seems the enemy has one more lord-level expert than our information indicated."

Chu Yang nodded heavily.

"We have seven lord-level experts, while they have one more than us, making it originally eight. But since two Dark Demon experts withdrew yesterday, we should only have six left; now they have seven lord-level experts, clearly hiding one before the battle began."

"Seven against seven!" Chu Yang worried.

From any angle, this lord-level battle seemed bleak; no one could predict the true outcome; it was merely a gamble.

On the enemy side were one from the Tu Family, one from the Tian Family, and one from the Li Family; besides that, there were none.

But the four extra ones now should be support from the Shang San Tian Stone Family.

The most terrifying ones were precisely those four.

On their side, there was one from the Dong Family, one from the Xie Family, and five from the Ao Family!

And their best chance rested on the five ancestral masters of the Ao Family!

Mo Tianji calculated for a while, unable to make a decision, and ultimately gritted his teeth, making a decision: "Elder Dong, Elder Xie, when the battle starts, you two must tie down those four from the Shang San Tian Stone Family with the two lord-level experts from the Ao Family! Then, the three ancestral masters from the Ao Family will focus all their efforts on the lord-level experts of the Tian, Tu, and Li Families. This is our only advantage!"
